Celebrating Hispanic & Latinx Heritage Month

Celebrate Hispanic & Latinx Heritage Month

This project is a part of the Hispanic & Latinx Heritage Month celebration because it supports a Latino teacher or a school where the majority of students are Latino.

My Project

My students love to explore a variety of materials during Art Centers time. Unfortunately, these items need to be refilled often. I would love to start the school year by surprising the kids with a fun and new Art Centers area.

My students continue to amaze me each year with their positive attitude, eagerness to learn and create and of course with their artistic talent.

I am often greeted with hugs and enthusiasm. They truly deserve so many great things but I can't do that without the assistance of generous donations.
